(BNET is a good site for business managers it is owned by CBS Interactive. TB)
Periodically, I’m going to be checking into how travel Web sites are performing in the U.S. and the world. This week, Experian Hitwise, which measures a sample of 25 million Internet users and 10 million in the United States, to figure out Internet data and behavior, ranked the top travel Web sites.* (Note: The top 20 travel Web sites included Google, Yahoo! and Bing maps as well as MapQuest, which for our purposes aren’t travel Web sites. So, I took the liberty of pulling out only online travel agencies, or places one can book travel, and travel-oriented sites.)
